PM Autoworks

Came in several years ago when they first started and just making the review now. It was a simple job to change out an air intake and they gave me a fair price and were very careful with my car, despite it being a small job. While I was there I saw a lot of cool sports cars and it was clear that they are passionate about their work. On my way out I accidentally backed my car into one of the mechanics well-maintained Subaru WRX, I felt like such an idiot. They all came out to look at the damage and after assessing that it was just a little paint/body damage they told me not to worry about it and sent me on my way. Place is ran by some good stand up guys, I appreciate their show of kindness to this day.

I have owned 4 Subarus over the past 20 years. Currently on my 5th. In those years I have dealt with many repair shops, including those who claim to be "Subaru specialists". After my recent experience with PM Autoworks, I can confidently say that these guys are the real deal. They certainly have the expertise to work on Subies, but what set these guys apart is their level of care and professionalism. Clear, concise communications through out the process. No unexpected surprises when I showed up to pick up my car. Everything is up front. Highly recommend if you have a Subaru.

Came in for a compression & leak down test to check the health of the engine on this used WRX I just bought. Son was super helpful with pricing and breaking down all the procedures they were going to run as well as keeping me in the loop while they were working on my vehicle. Definitely plan on coming back for future services or help if I decide to start doing any mods to the car.

PM Auto Works is super professional and friendly! I went in to get my 100k miles service which was super quick. Went back again to get an alignment for my car after installing coilovers on my car. I didn't do the best job cause one of my bolts holding the suspension fell off while I was driving. They were kind enough to give me an extra m12 or m14 bolt to help a fellow subie bro out. They provided additional assistance by replying to my messages when I needed help and clarification on how to fix some issues on my own. I could not have felt more supported by these guys. Car has been running great and will come back next time for any additional services my car needs!

Best Subaru shop in the bay area and it isn't even close. The absolute bosses here will take care of your car. They know more about Subaru than the dealers do. Wouldn't dare go anywhere else. Thanks Carlos and Randy.

I had a great experience with this auto repair shop. They were professional, honest, and truly went above and beyond. I had taken a day off work and they managed to squeeze me into a packed schedule, which I really appreciated. They were thorough in their inspection and even found a few leaks starting that I never would’ve noticed—and the dealership definitely never mentioned. The cost was very reasonable—much less than what the dealership would’ve charged. It’s rare to find a shop that’s this trustworthy and transparent. Highly recommend!

There's this fun thing that Subaru WRX/STi owners do when they cross paths with other Subie owners. We usually wave, say hi, throw up the peace sign, or shaka. That community feeling and vibe is what PM AutoWorks showed me when they took on the role of rebuilding my 04 Subaru Impreza WRX STi motor. Before heading out to their shop in San Jose, I was in contact with Ricky who helped me define my rebuild goals for my motor and clearly explained the motor rebuild and performance upgrade estimate/quote. On the day of my arrival, I was greeted by a portion of the team including Ricky, Peter, Randy, and Nick. For my rebuild, Randy led the charge and I trusted him to revive my STi from her sleeping slumber. Throughout the rebuild progress, the team would shoot me text updates and photos of the engine rebuild. I really enjoyed seeing their work and it made me love their team and speed shop even more. In addition, they also discovered other weak points in my engine system such as a cracked down pipe and worn out engine mounts which they sorted out easily. The overall rebuild felt quick and was around 2 weeks due to all the additional fixes (plus extra goodies I wanted done) on top of the engine rebuild. They were also pretty flexible with holding on to my car for a few days since I'm based out of Sacramento and I wasn't able to take time off of work to pick up the car right away. Once Ricky started up my STi, my STi sounded so much better than the day I picked it up from the previous owner. Heading back home to Sacramento, I could immediately feel the difference of the engine and I commend PM Autoworks for their diligent and quality work. Here's a bonus for y'all, they even followed up with me a couple days later just to see how the car was doing and if I had any questions. They define quality customer service and I highly recommend them. Even if they're 2.5 hours away from me, I am willing to drive my STi to these guys for my performance needs.

Went in for a diagnostic on my STI. Turns out it was broken headers. Owner never pushed me to engine swap, instead gave me his personal advice to sell as is. Very honest guy
